Edmonton’s Spookiest Headlines

Friday…enjoy that, Edmonton.Downtown shot #457

It’s another day of H1N1 stories out the wazoo. It looks like you and I will be asked to hold off getting a vaccination shot to allow higher-risk groups of people to get it. There’s also a flu assessment clinic opening, which instantly made me think of Outbreak (only because it’s going to be on AMC this weekend, not because I want to needlessly panic people).

Oh yeah, yesterday I added a new “source” to the list below. You’ll now see me link to stories under The Canadian Press banner. They’ll still be found in other sources (like CHED, Metro, CTV, etc…) but the wire service deserves you knowing they wrote the story. That’s the media education lesson of the day.

Now give me some candy.
